🎉 Our brilliant 4th graders knocked it out of the park with their United States social studies presentations! Each student dove deep into one of the 50 states, and every slide started with a different letter of the alphabet. Talk about creativity! 🤩 So proud of their hard work and how much they learned.

Mr. Baresel's 8th-grade class learned about the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) during the Great Depression and the New Deal. To understand the work of these programs, the students participated in an activity using straws to simulate the efficient transfer of resources (water). This hands-on activity helped them grasp the concept of how the WPA and TVA aimed to improve infrastructure and efficiency during a challenging economic time.

Our preschool class had a wonderful guest reader today - the amazing Carol Hougland! 😊 Since our students are learning all about birds and their habitats, Carol read two delightful stories: one about animal friendships and another about an owl learning to fly and its home. 🦉 What made it even more special is that Carol has been a part of the Jordan staff for nearly 35 years!
